some things I think may have helped this. I feel the flower is too far away to enjoy the details, I would have gotten closer and pick out some details of red and green instead of showing the whole plant. This would have also helped with making a more interesting composition as this is very centered my eye doesn't really want to move around the photo. I would have gotten rid of the border, IMO it doesn't help too much. Since you shot this on all black I would have tried to play with the lighting some more, maybe putting it on the side to add some more depth, you could even use that gold foil on the bottom of the pot as a reflector and put it on the opposite side of the light to fill in the shadows. Lastly, try to get you file size up to 150 kb, your image used only 81 kb. This means you could have had twice as much smoothness in your finer details. If you use photoshop try using the Save for Web function instead of Save. Here is a little tutorial on DPC that may help you get your images ready for challenges. I hope this helps, I am not trying to be hard on you just make some suggestions. :)

Ruby Anniversary - 40 years of complementing

cool DoF field and perspective, i like how the complementary colors are only part of the image and not the entire emphasis of the image, i hope this does well

Me and My Reflection

I think I would have made this a square crop, I don't see the bottom adding anything to the composition. The reflection from the tank was a very good idea though. :)

Flowing pages II - a tribute
by SoulMan1978

a nice tribute, I may have backed off of the wall abit. or a little shallower DoF field so the details in the wall were smooth. Also your file size is very small only 47 kb. In Paint shop Pro you should try to find a Save for Web function instead of the regular save so you can get more details in the photo. The max allowable file size is 150 kb, this would have made for many smoother details.

beautiful sky, I think my favorite part is the light on the side of the house, I like that you didn't make it a straight silhouette.
